BrOkEn ArRoW_29 Posted August 6, 2005 Posted August 6, 2005 My computer never freezes until I run Steam. Whenever I open it to play CS or something, I can play for about 20-30 minutes and then my computer totally freezes. I hate this because I don't have the fastest machine around so it takes me forever to restart and I just want to play CS for longer periods of time. I am running it through Xfire and even if I don't it still freezes. This problem has only occurred within the past month or so. Any help is great. Thanks.
Gryph Posted August 6, 2005 Posted August 6, 2005 Clean your video card fan and stuff to make sure it's not overheating.
BrOkEn ArRoW_29 Posted August 6, 2005 Author Posted August 6, 2005 I just tryed doing that and nothing changed. Any other ideas would be great.
Robert Posted August 6, 2005 Posted August 6, 2005 time for the speedfan treatment. Find, download and install Speedfan. It will display the temp of your cpu etc. Tell us what it says. If your cpu rises above 60 deg C, you may have a problem.
BrOkEn ArRoW_29 Posted August 6, 2005 Author Posted August 6, 2005 (edited) It's all over the place sometimes low, sometime extremely high. Edited August 6, 2005 by BrOkEn ArRoW_29
Gryph Posted August 6, 2005 Posted August 6, 2005 How about telling us the actual temperature? Low and extremely high is subjective.
Agozer Posted August 6, 2005 Posted August 6, 2005 Right now it's actually 48 deg. C48 is still ok. If it was 58 then I'd be a little worried.
BrOkEn ArRoW_29 Posted August 7, 2005 Author Posted August 7, 2005 So how does this contribute to the freezing of my PC only when Steam runs?
BrOkEn ArRoW_29 Posted August 7, 2005 Author Posted August 7, 2005 I don't exactly know. How would I go about look for this?
